    Caught a big rock backing up and buggered the thread on the lower A arm thru bolt. Does anyone have a line on where to get a new one? This is a wider one. It was originally a FatMan unit but the closed shop/

    Having the dimensions would help a great deal, even if it is a special bolt.

    McMaster-Carr. An ordinary Grade 8 bolt and flat washers will work fine. I think the factory Ford are 5/8" diameter, Fatman I can't say if it is the same or not. Torque appropriately.

    I seriously doubt FatMan was having bolts made to order. McMaster is a good source. Measure it and order from them.
